, not just healthcare. what i think is rather unfortunate is that healthcare is a broken system and it does require reform. it's costing us billions of dollars every year because we have 48 million uninsured americans who go to the e.r. for healthcare which costs us a lot of money. >> very few people, doctor, who say that the healthcare system doesn't need reform. the problem is the reform runs more than a thousand pages in the house and more than 600 pages in the senate. nobody can understand it. president obama can't understand it. and if he can, he hasn't been able to persuade people that he can and he's had plenty of time to do that. you gotta give the folks a break. the folks are listening. in the beginning they were with obama, elected him on reforming healthcare but they're seeing what he's got and they're saying we don't want it. it's very clear. >> bill, i disagree with you. i don't think people know what are in the nine policies. >> they can't know because president obama can't tell them. he's the
